when the south african government, the white south african government tried to get around the international community's revulsion of apartheid they tried to create these things called the bantustans who were given full independence beginning in 1976. when it came before the united nations, to vote on recognizing the bantustans, the vote was 134-0, the u.s. was the sole abstaining. it was 134-0. is exactly the same lopsided majority in the united nations, the same lopsided majority that the case of israel/palestine calls for two states on the june of 1967 border. the obvious reason why to support two states in the june of 1967 border is the same reason you supported one state in south africa, because that is what the international community deemed the reasonable, just and legitimate resolution of the conflict. >> thank you so much.
